The pitch-black, terrifying behemoth charged through the seal, its massive body like a moving mountain.
Countless tentacles flailed, covered in innumerable human hands.
Innumerable distorted human faces on its skin held their mouths open, wailing silently.
Near these faces were several bulging, disgusting pustules. When some pustules burst, the pus that flowed out stained the faces, infecting them and causing them to rot at a visible speed.
Once the rotten flesh writhed for a while, new human faces or pustules would grow again, continuing the cycle.
Despite being merely spiritual bodies, it was powerful enough to influence the real world.
The surrounding air grew increasingly dry, and the moisture in the soil was rapidly depleting.
If the previous mountain god was only one in name, then this monster was a true evil god in this world.
The fifty-meter-tall evil god roared at the sky, venting the rage of being sealed for hundreds of years.
Its terrifying size and its appearance that caused sanity loss both manifested its horror.
Inside the car speeding along the winding mountain road.
Miko Yotsuya took only a single peek before immediately retracting her gaze. She sat up straight and honest, her hands placed obediently on her thighs, tears flowing continuously from her eyes as she stared straight ahead.
She should not have looked back.
Truly...
How could such a terrible monster exist in this world?
With a slight comparison, the dog at home suddenly felt hundreds—no, tens of thousands of times more cute!
The expressions of Mitsue Takeda and Rom were not much better. Their cognitive filter was pushed to the limit, nearly reaching the edge of their psychological endurance.
The evil god shifted its body, and the countless eyes on its head looked toward the distant car surrounded by golden divine runes.
Its appetite was piqued by that pure energy.
Swish!
A tentacle continuously elongated, lashing toward the car as fast as lightning.
Deep in the mountains, Gabriel frowned, then decisively raised the red cross in her hand.
"Kyrie Eleison!"
Using divine arts as a guide, she activated the authority of Michael.
Clang!
The sword scar left on the mountain suddenly erupted with a sword beam!
In an instant, like a second sun rising, the entire world was dyed red.
As the red light swept past.
The massive evil god, along with the extended tentacle, was sliced into countless segments.
The evil god's body, cut into minced meat, quickly dissipated and melted into the air.
The authority of Michael ruthlessly crushed everything it had, including its life.
Because it died so quickly, the evil god did not even know how it died until the very end.
At the same time, the divine runes surrounding Rom's car were activated, teleporting the people and the car hundreds of miles away.
"Huh? It was killed that easily?"
With a flash of golden light, Gabriel stood a hundred meters in the air holding a golden longbow. She narrowed her eyes as she stared at the evil god that seemed as dead as could be.
Really dead?
I don't believe it!
I'm afraid this might be like Muzan from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, cutting the tail to survive!
Fortunately, she was prepared; otherwise, she might have really thought she had successfully killed the opponent!
"Hiding away probably to try and scheme against me, how shameless!"
Gabriel raised her right hand, and golden divine runes rose from her palm.
Clatter!
The surrounding space surged, and countless chains of commandments of various sizes emerged.
The chains then acted like a game of snake, piercing through the pieces of flesh that hadn't had time to dissipate and quickly gathering them together.
To prevent the evil god from regenerating from any piece of flesh, Gabriel put in two hundred percent of her focus to ensure that not even a single drop of blood was missed.
Since the evil god looked so frightening, it was probably a ceiling-level existence in this world, which by extension meant it was on the same level as her!
She couldn't afford to be careless!
It might be an old schemer hiding in this pile of flesh, waiting for the right moment to plot against her!
Just like her.
When all the flesh was gathered, only one ten-millionth of the original size remained, and it was being purified and disappearing at an exaggerated speed.
"It's nothing more than an illusion to deceive me."
The divine runes in Gabriel's right hand condensed into a golden arrow, which she then notched and drew.
The snow-white wings behind her unfurled, and the golden halo grew increasingly bright.
As terrifying energy gathered at the arrowhead, the surrounding space let out a cracking sound, unable to withstand the pressure.
Gabriel released the bowstring.
Twang!
Swoosh—!
The arrow, carrying the authority to purify all filth in the human world, shot out instantly.
The hundred-meter distance was covered in a flash.
The moment the arrowhead reached the pile of flesh below!
Rumble!
The earth trembled, and a dazzling mushroom cloud rose abruptly.
Just as it was about to expand uncontrollably, a transparent circular barrier rose, blocking the energy radiating outward.
She successfully prevented a major news event of a nuclear bomb hitting Japan from occurring.
Gabriel dissipated the energy of the mushroom cloud and looked down.
The mountain where the mountain god originally resided and the several high mountains nearby had vanished without a trace, leaving only a huge meteor crater.
Clear groundwater bubbled up from beneath the earth, slowly filling the meteor crater.
After a series of baptisms, this groundwater had evolved into true holy water.
After all, it had been touched by the holy light of two archangels.
Likely, before long, the miraculous nature of this place would be unearthed by others, eventually becoming an internationally famous scenic spot.
"It seems my skills were superior."
After everything belonging to the evil god vanished, Gabriel felt the abundant angelic power in her body and breathed a long sigh of relief.
It hadn't even been a warm-up; she had truly overestimated this evil god.
Gabriel took a final look at the meteor crater below and her figure vanished instantly.
Half an hour later.
Gabriel flashed back without warning, flying a hundred meters in the air, and used divine arts to probe the meteor crater below once more to be sure.
In the end, she detected nothing.
"Hmm, it seems the culprit behind the mountain god incident is truly gone this time. With this major hidden danger successfully removed, I can go on vacation with peace of mind."
As for the matter of the evil spirits, she would let Mitsue Takeda and the others handle it using the angel's feather and spirits.
There weren't many places left that required her intervention.
Gabriel took a last look at the meteor crater below and left instantly using divine walk.
Three hours later.
Gabriel, dressed in casual clothes, blended into the crowd of onlookers. She followed suit by taking random pictures with her phone of the meteor crater now filled with groundwater.
Upon leaving, she casually dissipated the remaining holy light in the meteor crater, returning the holy water inside to its original form.
It degraded into ordinary groundwater.
Aside from purifying malice, holy water could also cure illnesses and save people. If it were exploited by those with hidden motives, the entire international community would be affected.
One shouldn't engage in feudal superstition.
Similarly, Gabriel would not give the neon government a chance to amass huge wealth.
But that was all secondary; her main purpose was still to investigate whether the evil god was still alive.
Gabriel still couldn't quite believe that the evil god she had always regarded as a great enemy could be eliminated by her so easily.
